You need to be aware of two things a) The database can store data in one of 3 formats - and there is nothing wrong with having US set as the storage unit b) The reports can be generated in whatever units you require
If the database is US (as seems likely and which is the default) then all you need to do is select the units in the skin.conf to be whatever you wish to use for reporting purposes - which appears to be metric - so just change all the units/groups to the required units as required in the Units section of standard skin.conf IF you will never want to use imperial units then you can override the skin.conf settings by changing the units in weewx.conf posting your weewx.conf and skin.conf would help identify any issues see http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#[Units] for more information On Tuesday, 3 April 2018 12:54:26 UTC+3, GrahamWhitaker wrote: > Aercus 3083, Weewx installed on raspberry pi. > > weewx.conf file settings > > Standard skin, Std report section all units are metric, > StdConvert setings as default target_unit = US #Options are 'US', > 'METRICWX', or 'METRIC' > > Readings for rain show 777.3mm for rain this week which is obviously wrong > where 30mm looks a more likely correct figure . > > I am tempted to change the target_unit to METRIC but the warnings are > putting me off. > > Could this be the cause of the problem, if so do I clear the database (not > sure how) and change the target_unit or have I got something else wrong? > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
